need to lower mouse sensitivity in bioshock1

[jjyiz28]

its already set to 1 in the game. thankfully mouse acceleration is off but its too sensitive. anyone know if there's a way to lower it even more?

find an ini file with "input" in title in your folder where the saves are stored.

within that ini file you should have something like

MouseSensitivity=30.000000

or whatever it says. and go from there. if the setting resets when you enter the game, just make the file read only.

the specifics might be off, but its quite similar for all u3 engine games.

or you could just lower your DPI if you have a proper mouse and nothing else works.

well currently its set to 1. how would i put it lower lozz. i gues i could get used to it i dunno

If I remember correctly, the mouse in your system specs allows for DPI switches on the fly: use that and lower the sensitivity.
It's not ideal, but it might work.

yeah, advanced game settings. i did some reading and dpi makes it more accurate because it takes more mouse movement readings but it also makes it more sensitive. i dont quite understand how it works in this software though.

i have a sensitive up and sensitive down on my mouse button. if i press it down once it goes to 800dpi?? as of right now is it set to 1600dpi? whats going on

0.3? 0.5? 0.1?

for super sensitive games i personally just dial down to 800dpi from my usual 2000.

you can set the dpi you want in that advanced settings screen. click on any of the 5 buttons on the left side and move the slider on the right, circular part to choose your dpi. essentially, you can change to 5 different dpi settings using the mouse buttons. also, setpoint that you're using is outdated... go to the logitech site and download the new software.

thanks ill try that. and i am using the lastest setpoint, 6.32 on logitechs site. this is a fresh install OS like a week ago with all the latest drivers.

my mx518 is the original one with 1600dpi max rather than the new one with 1800dpi.

i meant setpoint as a whole is deprecated/outdated. they've replaced it with a new application called logitech gaming software or something like that.
